Evaluation Pattern

Since CIA I insists on individual testing, there could be three ways of testing the students

  1. A class test based on the text
  2. A movie review
  3. A book review           

 

For CIA III, the students can be asked

  1. To prepare group presentations on topics relevant to postcolonial literature
  2. To put up an exhibition/display of the literature/paintings/other art productions of the formerly colonized countries.

 

These are a few ideas, however, during the course of teaching, there could be other suggestions, and CIA’s could be slightly modified.

PSY531 - ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY (2022 Batch)

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:60
No of Lecture Hours/Week:4
Max Marks:100
Credits:4

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

The abnormal psychology course aims to sensitize the students about the existence of abnormal behaviour in order to develop greater social responsibility. The course coupled with the social psychology course of the previous semester and other courses from sociology, specifically with regard to social problems, would create a holistic understanding of the individual and their society. Further, the course would enable the student to develop a cultural understanding of abnormal behaviour within the Indian context and specifically to Bangalore. In Bangalore, there is a noticeable increase in the mental health issues faced by the population and the need for mental health practitioners who understand the difference between abnormal behaviour and distressing behaviour is a major requirement and the course would be the first step towards that direction. This course has been conceptualized in order to help the students develop an understanding of the historical development of the study of abnormal behaviour.  The specific course aim is to create an understanding of the criteria and perspectives in abnormal behaviour, common classification systems, and range of disorders including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, somatic symptom disorders generally observed at childhood and adolescence, and personality disorders. 

Learning Outcome

CO1: Differentiate between the different types of abnormal behavior

CO2: Discern clinically diagnosable psychopathology from deviant behavior

Total Teaching Hours for Semester:75
No of Lecture Hours/Week:5
Max Marks:100
Credits:4

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Course Description: This paper is informed by David Damrosch’s understanding that world literature is not a canon of Western master works but a mode of cross cultural reading. So the selection reflects similar themes of gender, race, being responsible citizen in oppressive conditions which the students have encountered in their earlier semester. While these themes have been discussed earlier in specific nationalistic contexts, this paper draws on that awareness and brings in comparative approach for analysis.

 

Objectives:

To introduce students to methods of studying literature and culture across national and linguistic boundaries

 

To understand the nature and function of literature from global perspective

Learning Outcome

CO1: Display a basic understanding of historical and cultural contexts of world literatures

CO2: To identify and respond to the ways in which literary texts from diverse cultures, time are interconnected

CO3: Compare and contrast significant similarities and differences between various literary forms, periods, histories in both western and non-western writings

CO4: Will demonstrate tools of literary analysis including appropriate literary terminology for writing analysis of the texts

CO5: Will be able to examine reading experiences, culture from multiple frames of references, specifically frames that define world literatures

CO6: To enhance textual appreciation and writing skills

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Course Description:This paper is conceptualised to address one of the pressing concerns of our times – Ecology. The paper introduces the various discourses that surround the ecological movements of the past and present and the ground work they have laid to avoid a perilous future. The paper also critically looks at certain cultural phenomenon like Anthropocentricism and emphasises the urgent need for Eco Activism and cultivation of an Ecological Self. Since the paper does not just aim at getting the students familiarised with theory, it also includes field visit as an integral part.

Course Objectives:

  • To enable learners, understand the complex and various representations of nature in literature and other cultural artefacts
  • To explore an interdisciplinary engagement with Ecology and introduce ecological concerns to the learner
  • To examine diverse contexts and concerns in the field of Ecology
  • To promote ecological consciousness through a combination of classroom and field work-based learning

Learning Outcome

CO1: Analyze the different debates and discourses on ecology in literature, and other avenues of social sciences

CO2: Understand the role of us (human beings) in responding to contemporary ecological crises

CO3: Develop a critical understanding of the nature, self and the urgent need to nurture an ecological self

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

General Description: This paper will re-visit the two popular Indian epics – the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Mahabharata and the Ramayana are not mere literary texts in India; no Indian reader reads them for the first time. As Prof Anantamurthy points out they function as languages and prompt new narratives in literary traditions.

The paper intends to read the critical discussions and creative re-presentations of the epics – The Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The essays will probe the posited meanings in the tellings of the epics. The other two modules will look at the creative interpretations, re-presentations of certain episodes, marginal characters from the epics.

As we read, discuss the re-visited tellings of the epics, we would need a specific telling to refer to. C Rajagopalachari’s telling of the Mahabharata, The Epic and The Ramayana can be considered as a reference point. Pertinent episodes can be read or discussed in class or if time permits the entire narrative can be read/discussed in class.      

 

Objective

  1. To study the two Indian epics and literary works based on them
  2. To understand the process of re-visioning a text
  3. To understand the contexts that prompts the re-visioning of an epic

Learning Outcome

CO1: To study the two Indian epics and literary works based on them

CO2: To understand the process of re-visioning a text

CO3: To understand the contexts that prompts the re-visioning of an epic

Course Objectives/Course Description

 

Course description: Media psychology is the application of psychological theory and research to the analysis of media and technology use, development and impact. The idea is that it will spark an interest where the student might want to continue future exploration in both the fields, Media and Psychology. The main purpose of this course is to provide students with an overview of the ways in which the media—primarily electronic media-affect the viewer psychologically. A second purpose is to examine how the science of psychology is presented in the media. An examination will be made of several psychological theories that help to explain media effects. A particular emphasis will be placed upon the following media psychology-related topics: Aggression, advertising, news, portrayals of minorities, emotion, and health behaviours. 

Learning Outcome

CO1: Identify the benefits of applying media psychology

CO2: Evaluate media, media contents, literacy and their psychological implications

CO3: Explain media applications in educational, entertainment, health services, commercial or public policy environments

CO4: Examine the implications of media sources, usage and processes on the cognitive, emotional, motivational, behavioural and social realms
